Terminology of Nucleic Acids • • • • • • • Nucleotide Nucleoside Nucleobase AMP ADP ATP dAMP 2 3/22/2013 Some Examples of Nucleotides UDP‐Glucose ATP NAD+ FAD GTP CoA S‐AM De Novo Synthesis 3 3/22/2013 De Novo Synthesis of Purines • Form activated ribose • Form 5‐phospho ribosylamine • Build IMP from precursors • Synthesis of AMP and GMP PRPP • Pentose phosphate pathway • 2 ATP equivalents • Over production of PRPP is one cause of gout because PRPP stimulates the next step… 4 3/22/2013 5‐phosphoribosylamine • First step of purine biosynthesis • Glutamine is N donor • Regulated – Activation by PPRP – Increased purine levels – Degradation of purines leads to compound which can cause gout Purine Pathway • Don’t need to know details, order • Know precursors – N from Asp, Gln – C from THF, Gly, CO2 • Cost – 2 ATP eq for PRPP – 5 more ATP steps Know this figure! 5 3/22/2013 Purines • Two distinct strategies for amination – Mechanisms • Regulation – Feedback to 5‐phospho ribosylamine – Branchpoint regulation 6 3/22/2013 Compare/Contrast • Purine biosynthesis – Salvage is a major pathway – Base synthesized while attached to ribose – IMP is common intermediate for AMP and GMP, but itself is not a typical nucleotide • Pyrimidine biosynthesis – De novo is a major pathway – Base is synthesized, then attached to ribose – UMP, a typical nucleic acid, is converted into other pyrimidines De novo Pyrimidine Synthesis • First step regulated (compare to urea cycle) • Asp is different than purine— whole molecule is incorporated 7 3/22/2013 Further Modifications • Interconversion of nucleotides (mono, di, tri phosphates) • Reduction to form deoxynucleotides • Methylation to form dTMP Nucleotide Interconversions • Fast, reversible, driven by high [ATP] • NMPNDP catalyzed by specific nucleoside monophosphate kinase • NDPNTP catalyzed by nonspecific kinase • AMP + ATP ADP + ADP important in energy balance 8 3/22/2013 Deoxyribonucleotides • Deoxygenation occurs on diphosphates • One enzyme affects all transformations [dUDP] Ribonucleotide Reductase • Sulfur does amazing chemistry! – Stable radical – Proton donor – Redox reagent • NADPH is ultimate source of reducing 9 3/22/2013 Regulation of Reductase • One enzyme balances needs of cell via regulation of activity and selectivity • Be able to explain why this table makes sense 10 3/22/2013 Methylation • • • • dTMP is made from dUMP Key step in replicating cells Therapeutic target for anti‐cancer drugs Two key enzymes Thymidylate Synthase • Methylene‐THF acts as a “methyl” donor – Donates methylene – And hydride • Fascinating chemistry! – Sulfur is covalent catalyst – Internal 1,3‐hydride shift • THF is left as DHF 11 3/22/2013 5‐Fluorouracil • Incorporated into monophosphate nucleotide in body • Mechanism based inhibitor (Trojan Horse) • Forms covalent link to enzyme like normal • No elimination possible because proton replaced with fluorine O NH O - O P N O O O O- H H OH OH H H O F NH O - O P N O O O O- H H OH OH H H DHF reductase • DHF must be reduced back to THF to be a viable cofactor • Second chemotherapy target • Competitive inhibitor that is structurally similar to THF would end methylation process 12 3/22/2013 Review of Purines • Knowing blue in figure will help with chapter summary 13 3/22/2013 Review of Pyrimidines • Knowing blue in figure will help with chapter summary Catabolism • Less important than other catabolic processes – not a major energy source – Lots of salvage – Serves to clear excess • In humans, purines uric acid (excreted) • In humans, pyrimidines acetyl CoA, succinyl CoA for some energy gain 14 3/22/2013 Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Syndrome (SCIDS) • Deficiency of adenosine deaminase • First step in catabolism • High levels of dATP lead to low levels of dNTP • No DNA kills fast growing T‐cells * Answers 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
